Most of the stuff we do at Coffee House is for a laugh – but our wiki-investigation into the recession is deadly serious. We urgently need to find out what went wrong, and the thinking of the Westminster village consensus won’t do. We need you, your insights, your suggestions, your criticisms. If you have friends with expertise – in academia, the hedge fund industry, the quiet souls who weren’t promoted because they didn’t buy into the myth – urge them to leave their thoughts on how our investigation should proceed. We provide the platform, you provide the energy and direction.
So far it’s been great: over 40 responses to our scoping inquiry. I’ll do a revised ‘terms of reference’ later, and ask for your thoughts again. We can, of course, adjust as we go along: when we hear from expert witnesses, it may open up other avenues of inquiry. But so far, here are the suggestions that we’ll be taking on board.
